Highs And Lows
from We Made Too Many Bombs! by Being Beta
about
In Perth we have a little thing in uni culture called 'Mid Year Rotto'. Basically, during the mid-year uni break everyone goes and abuses as many substances and laws as they can on the offshore island of Rottnest . Last year our old drummer attended said event - the lyrics of this song are almost entirely comprised of text messages he sent me (Jacob) during the event. This is a song about pushing your self way too hard until you just break down - but there's always a bright side!
Also those of you wondering what "Nurga" is, it's basically interchangeable with any illicit substance you can think of.

lyrics
...Coz I'm not in a bad place I'm just drunk
Everyone's smashed and the place is trashed
A guy who passed out just sculled a beer
Please get me THE FUCK out of here
Coz i miss civilization and i miss my iPod
I can't wait, to start my security job
Got a medical test on Friday, i'm screwed
A Coffee costs five bucks, how rude
A coffee cost five bucks (A coffee cost five bucks?)
... but at least i still have
[CHORUS]
The nurga, the export, the leading bitches on
The durries, the goon, half the alcohol is gone
Quokkas to do my science with me
Mid Year Rotto is the place to be
The nurga, the export, the leading bitches on
The durries the goon, half the alcohol is gone
The guy next to me just sculled a beer
How did i even end up here?
Woo!
Last night had its high's and lows
Some guy and i we became bros
Tonight has it's lows and highs
Tucker max will be my demise
I've found myself stranded
Twen'ty ks out to sea
So where the fucks the ferry? Coz
Mid Year Rotto will be the death of me
(the death of Me)
Fuck Yeah!
Well at least I still have...
[Chorus]
HOW DID I END UP HERE?
NURGA, EXPORT, LEADING BITCHES ON
DURRIES GOON, ALCOHOL IS GONE
QUOKKAS TO DO, MY SCIENCE WITH ME
MID YEAR ROTTO IS THE PLACE TO BE
NURGA, EXPORT, LEADING BITCHES ON
DURRIES GOON, ALCOHOL IS GONE
THE GUY NEXT TO ME, SCULLED A BEER
HOW DID I EVEN END UP HERE?
Everyone's smashed and the place is trashed
A guy who passed out just sculled a beer
Please get me THE FUCK out of here
Coz i miss civilization and i miss my iPod

A Coffee costs five bucks, how rude
